The space
Right on the beach in a quiet neighborhood in the heart of Placencia Village.
Lovely beach for swimming, sunning and relaxing in the hammocks and loungers.
There is a sidewalk (Westby Sidewalk) all the way from the road to the cottage - handy for walking to the main sidwalk and road and transporting luggage.
Away from the noise of the road.
No noisy bars nearby - very close walking distance but far enough away for peace and quiet at night.

The cottage, yard and beach.
I will do occasional laundry for guests that ask, weather permitting. (Line dry only)

You don't need a lot of luggage to enjoy Placencia.
Simple beachwear with coverup and casual clothing is acceptable everywhere.
Most foodstuffs and other things that might weigh you down at the airport are available in Placencia these days. i.e. Special snacks, treats, sunscreen, aloe, shampoo etc. They may be a little more expensive here but if you want to travel light it is possible to purchase most everything here nowadays.
There is a complete pharmacy for OTC and prescription meds etc.
NOTE! No towels or utensils to leave the property. If you are taking excursions(snorkeling, Monkey River etc.) be sure to bring your own towel.

About the host
Hosted by Kay Westby
I have lived in Belize since 1985, in Placencia since 1987, operating Coconut Cottage since 1994.
The original cottage was built in 1994 to accommodate my late husbands fly fishing clients.
Joel was a world renowned fly-fishing guide who died in 1996.
The original Coconut Cottage left with Hurricane Iris in October of 2001. The new cottages were rebuilt and I reopened for business in March 2002. There is just one for rent as I live in the other with my cat BabyB.
Although there have been many changes in Placencia over the years it is my home and I am rooted here and closely connected to my Belizean family, the Westbys.
Living on the premises creates the safest environment for my guests.
I am always available to my guests.
If I am not here there is another family member available.
I invite you to come visit and enjoy beautiful Placencia Village.
